Climbing kings Peak.

Sorry i don't have any pics yet from this trip.... but i thought i'd write a little about it. I went with work to climb Kings Peak, the hightest piont in Utah. It was really fun, but after 6 days in the winderness with about 20 something "at-risk" boys, i'm glad to be back in Provo and to be clean. The weather wasn't too bad considering. We were rained on alot, had a few lightning and thunder storms, but are all safe. We did get lost a few times, but always found our way. The other half of us, however (we had to divide into 2 groups for the permits) got lost for a few days, but we eventauly found them. Good thing for maps. the hike was challanging enough, I had to literally push a few of the boys as we hiked up hills, but alot of fun. We went the longest most round about way, that we hear is the prettiest, bringing us to around 76 or some odd miles total.
The oddest story is that one night after setting up camp, the boys saw all of the squarels and decided to try and catch one. Being that i didn't actually believe that they would, and that they were working together and entertaining themselves, i just told them that if they kill it, they'd have to eat it. To my suprize, about 4 hours later they come around with a squeral on a nuce. That was about the grossest thing i'd ever seen. They then told us that it didn't have a name because that would be cruel. odd. They set up a trap with a huge rock held up by a stick with a string tied to it with food under it. Apparently it tasted good because all of the boys involved got together and cooked and ate the poor thing. After this, there was a ban on killing. All i could think of during the whole thing was the book, " Lord of the Flies". Well, that was the most interesting part of my week.
